Oh boy sounds like they're afraid of copycat killers.

Why - are they doing something that should make them afraid?

How many lives does 1 yearly bonus check save?

What do you mean? They are just trying to put food on the table for their families.

/s in case that isn't blatantly obvious

What the hell are they eating, inexplicably stable trans-uranium elements?

I watched a documentary on oil execs a while ago (can't remember the name, sorry :( ). Someone asked an exec why he wasn't giving 50 of the 60 billion dollars he owned to charity or government programs and he literally said "but how am I going to feed my family" without a shred of irony.

You were being funny, but the billionaire class actually believes this.

Feed my family? What about feeding my coke habit?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

It's because despite having oodles of money they never learned math. A family of 5 could eat 3 meals a day $100 per plate for 60 years for 32.85 million. They have just as little comprehension of their vast wealth as we do. Billionaires should not exist.

I think mass shootings in the US are a little passe. This on the other hand...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

The two could be combined. Any shooting of three or more executives would be a mass shooting of executives. By a mysterious masked man that no one can identify.

What's the old expression?

If you've got nothing to hide/done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

That's why I stroll down the street nude. Everyone else is a juicier target than me 😎 why you wearing clothes huh?! Kinda sus.

Targeted killings of evil people get me hard.

Same same... I can't be the only one with a bit of a crush on this masked hero. What we can see is sexy af, though I would never be able to describe him to a sketch artist.
